Course summary

The demand for translators and interpreters who know and understand the latest language technologies is growing rapidly. This is down to a growing number of companies, institutions and people doing business globally, but expecting to use services in their own language, which leads to the latest technological innovations being incorporated into the rapidly evolving language services industry.This specialist degree will provide you with excellent language skills in up to two languages, as well as theoretical, practical, technical and vocational translation and interpreting skills.French, German and Spanish can be studied at the following levels and in the following combinations:- Two advanced languages: suitable if you have an A-level or equivalent qualification/experience in both languages.- One advanced language and one beginner’s language: suitable if you have an A-level in a single language, and wish to continue with that same language, while adding a second language to your skillset (Italian and Chinese beginner's modules are also available from the second year of study).- One advanced language: suitable if you have an A-level or equivalent qualification/experience, and wish to focus exclusively on one language.There are four levels of languages taught on this programme for the main languages listed above beginners, intermediate, upper intermediate, and advanced. You can choose the appropriate level based on your existing background in these languages, and whether you choose to undertake an additional Year Abroad or Year in Industry. These language modules have different assessments to fairly reflect your level of study.On completion of this programme, you will have a detailed understanding of translation and interpreting in different specialist areas and contexts, as well as a high level of proficiency in your selected languages, and in relevant language technologies.
